Published by admin on Thu, 09/24/2020 - 10:46am

The Shawano School District will close classrooms and go 100% virtual for at least two weeks starting Tuesday due to the county’s surge in COVID-19 cases over the past week.

Hillcrest Primary School will close immediately for the rest of this week, due to the inability to provide staff coverage for the school, Superintendent Randi Anderson said in a letter to district parents.

Other Shawano schools will finish out the week.

There will be no school Monday while district staff converts their instruction to delivering it virtually starting on Tuesday.

The Gresham School District is planning to have students in the classroom four days out of the week, closing Wednesdays for deep cleaning.

Whether that plan goes into effect will depend on the results of a survey being sent out this week and the decision of the Gresham School Board later in August. Superintendent Newell Haffner hopes the proposed reopening plan will be an acceptable compromise between those who believe schools should be open five days per week and those who believe it’s too risky to open until the coronavirus is under control.

GRESHAM — The face of Gresham’s education system for 85 years collapsed Tuesday as the second phase of Gresham Community School began to ensure continued education for the village and its surrounding towns.

The portion of the building that has been in existence since the school was first built in 1935 is being brushed away and replaced with a modern facility that will house a brand-new cafeteria, several offices and classrooms. The work is part of a $6.5 million referendum approved by voters in November 2018.
